A Lutheran - Episcopalian Church
Living Grace Urbana
Inspired by Jesus Christ, Living Grace strives to be a welcoming community that will
love you, serve you, and care for you.
Kristofer Roberson, Pastor at Living Grace Urbana, is a graduate of the United Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg. Before seminary, Pastor Kris taught middle school visual and performing arts with FCPS. Together with his wife, Kristin, an elementary visual art teacher, and daughter, Scarlett, the family resides in Smithsburg, Maryland.
Originally from Adamstown, Pastor Roberson is very familiar with Urbana. For several generations, his family has called the area around Sugarloaf Mountain home. Although much has changed, Kristofer still feels at home in southern Frederick and northern Montgomery counties.
Prior to seminary, Pastor Roberson served as organist and music director for several Frederick area churches. In his spare time, he enjoys country store shopping with his wife, building Legos with his daughter, and taking photos of God’s natural wonders, and cheering on the Baltimore Ravens. #ravensflock
